Part-time comedian Stephen Harper took the stage yesterday to give a speech in which he mocked Justin Trudeau’s proposal of running “modest” deficits.

The apex of his performance was this:
There’s no way something this little will do anything, right?
The seemingly innocent gesture was quickly picked up by Montreal Gazette editorial writer Monique Muise, who called upon the Twitterverse to release the memes.
